Maybe I'll have my next bike by the next time you are this way and we can meet up. I will definitely need a set of mirrors for the ninja 1k, I road it today and the stock mirrors suck a big fat one!I agree with the Made in USA, i try to biy local as much as i can. I just pound 150 miles to Naples today and those mirrors work great! No vibration, excellent rear view. The stock mirrors are ok, the are excellent in my opinion.
Could you please comment on why you did not want to use the bar-ends that came with the mirrors? Thnx.... This may be due to the bar-ends I modified to fit since I didn't want to use the ones they sent).
1) I paid $50 for the cnc bar ends yamaha makes for the bike way before deciding to buy the mirrorsCould you please comment on why you did not want to use the bar-ends that came with the mirrors? Thnx.
In my opinion the stock mirrors look like cr#p and the view they provide is cr#ppy as well... I think we found a winner in these CNC mirrors! :thumbup:Do you guys that have actually tried the CNC bar end mirrors feel they have a better view than the stock mirrors? Better safety is most important to me. The look of the stock mirrors doesn't bother me at all. I feel they could have a better view of what's behind me. I put the little Pep Boy rectangular fish eyes on both and that helped the view a lot. So, how do you feel about their view compared to stock and any extra vibration? Wish they were made in the USA. I try to buy everything American if possible.
I installed them using bar ends they came with. The mirrors are much smaller than the stock. Will see how they are in action. The only drawback is the arms aren't flexible, if you tip over, they'll snap.Here's few pics of the mirrors on my ride. The 6R start to look like a real Sport-Touring bike now. Just finish assembly the modded version of my rack for the Givi E21.
Can't help you there, I'm using the renthal bar. But I used the stock bar ends. The CNC bar ends have expendable sleeve, not threads... not sure how good they fit with the adaptors.Could anyone with these mirrors installed please tell me if the bar-ends that come with the mirrors are OK to replace the bar-ends that are original on the bike? Does the thread on the mirror's bar-ends screws match the handlebars?
Thank you in advance,

I know this is a handlebar question, but if I buy these mirrors, I would like to get install them on these. Is this what you have? How hard or easy was the handlebar to install? Any adjustments on the cables, clutch brake controls, etc.? How did the mirrors fit? Thanks in advance.I'm using the Renthal 787handlebar. I'm more upright... so my elbow are in the middle of the mirror. I can see on each side but not behind me...
I have this set up and it work great for me. I put the mirror on the stock bar ends. Kind of between the hand grab and the bar end. You need to reroute the cables and brake line and bleed the front brake. I'll post pics later on if you want. Basically the the cable can't be inside the bracket (key switch) and the throttle cables need to be behind the bars. The front brake line need to connect to the RH side caliper. It's tight but once you do those little change it work just fine. I lowered my bike... work even better now.I know this is a handlebar question, but if I buy these mirrors, I would like to get install them on these. Is this what you have?

Didn't get it. Pics maybe?The easiest, cheapest, quickiest mirrow mod ever!
Stock mirrors can be pushed in to fold them for storage. Well, they can also be pushed out and they stay where you want them. That way the mirrors don't point up like the rabbit ears and the visibility is much better - I can see the traffic on the both sides and directly behind myself.
No drilling, screwing, reconnecting = more time to ride!
